"The UK has been able to begin to take full advantage of the success of its vaccination programme by announcing a staged lifting of lockdown measures culminating, it is planned, for restrictions to be fully lifted by the late June.

As Boris Johnson commented when questioned by journalists at last evening’s press briefing, there will always be those who want him to act with more haste just there will be those who advise greater caution, but he believes that this plan can be seen as irreversible yet able to be delayed if circumstances demand.

The crux of the lifting lies with the gap between the four stages of the plan which means that data will be used to determine that it is safe to move on.

With shops being able to reopen on April 12th, the second quarter will see the recovery begin in earnest with schools reopening and certain social distancing rules relaxed next month.
